Contract Value Index (CVI)
Kevin Durant's contract with the Houston Rockets grades out as a fair market value contract, earning a C CVI grade. At $32.9M per year over 3 years, this is a max contract at the maximum allowed salary. Kevin's deal falls in the max tier for NBA Small Forwards. At 37, the age-adjusted value factors in potential decline over the contract term. The max contract structure means Kevin's salary is artificially capped — the CVI accounts for the compression between market value and allowed salary. The deal will need consistent performance to grade out as a positive move long-term.

Current Sentiment
Durant remains respected but faces growing retirement narrative overshadowing his current excellence. His A-grade play proves he's still elite, quietly reaching Jordan's scoring milestone. Contract appears reasonable given performance, though age concerns linger among analysts. Retirement timeline dominates headlines more than playoff aspirations or championship hopes. Fans cautiously optimistic about Rockets contention, yet uncertain how many prime years remain.
